10 Ways to Help in 2010
Volunteer
with your company, club, or friends
to deliver meals in your neighborhood,
provide event support and more.
Organize your own fundraiser
for Lanakila Meals on Wheels.
All designated monies go directly to providing
meals and support for seniors in need.

We also run 19 Kupuna Wellness Centers on Oahu. Each is a senior support center offering community, services, and a hot lunch.
Rally neighbors and businesses to commit
to the Kupuna Wellness Center in your area, make it a place that reminds our kupuna how much we value them.
Sponsor-A-Senior
You can sponsor a homebound senior
or sponsor a senior at a Kupuna Wellness
Center for a week, month or year.
Contributions in any amount make a difference.

that help seniors preserve
their independence with dignity.
